Severe Hyperacusis and Reactive Tinnitus: How to Treat & Cope?

[Nick47]

Hi @Paulie87, Clonazepam is well known to reduce tinnitus and hyperacusis for many. Diazepam only seems to reduce the anxiety.

I woke up with mine screaming. When I went to bed it was much quieter and softer.

@MindOverMatter, did you notice the same in a setback? Waking up with it screaming, yet when you went to bed it was quieter. It really provokes a lot of anxiety to start the day.

Three weeks ago, I used headphones for an hour during a Zoom meeting. Millions of people use headphones for six hours a day, five days a week, while working. We're vulnerable in a way most people aren't.

Teams and Google Meet have a function called Subtitles. Zoom should have it as well. You can have the volume on zero while reading what people are saying. (I started to use the function to avoid noise accidents during video meetings.)
